Most realize that scientific wildlife management often requires the taking of animals when their population numbers are too high or if they&#39;re causing other damage. Many will look for practical alternatives to lethal control. It&#39;s not at all fair to characterize them all in one negative way or another.Scott Slocumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03392468664913503564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-83202547942227153552012-09-13T19:38:06.722-04:002012-09-13T19:38:06.722-04:00Another solution that would also work well with hu...Another solution that would also work well with hunting would be to re-introduce natural predators &amp; employ guardian dogs to protect livestock. <br /><br />We humans are an arrogant lot, to think we can improve on nature. Hunting is not cruel. All wild prey animals will be killed &amp; eaten at some point.

The alternative, especially if the hunting community is aging and shrinking, is to accept money from the general fund - with all the strings that are attached.Jerrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-53693119020976456722007-05-10T04:24:00.000-04:002007-05-10T04:24:00.000-04:00Ted Willams the great American baseball player and...Ted Willams the great American baseball player and occassional pitchman for Sears fishing gear (he was also a dedicated angler), is sadly dead, but happily he is not related to Ted Williams the great American hook-and-bullet conservation writer who is enthusiastically alive. <BR/><BR/>Ted Williams the writer, who lives in Massachusetts and is a former offical of the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife, has never hesitated one second from blasting Massachsuetts Audubon for being stupid and silly, but he is always careful to note something few others do: that Massachusetts Audubon is independent from and separate from the National Audubon Society; different organizations with different positions on many things.<BR/><BR/>For an excellent piece by Ted Williams (whose blog is a permanent link in the gutter of this blog), see "Management by Majority" which was an article in Audubon magazine and is reprinted (with permission) on the web site of a pro-fur group at >> http://www.furcommission.com/resource/perspect95.htm <BR/><BR/>A close reading of this article will reveal that while Massachusetts Audubon opposes trapping (and thus has helped endanger endangered species in their own state), the National Audubon Society sued the Humane Society in order to keep trapping red fox legal on federal land. And, for the record, National Audubon won.<BR/><BR/>As for Ted Williams' uneasy relationship with Massachusetts Audubon, it must be a little strange at times, as his wife is conservation advocacy coordinator for the group and is strongly opposed to the group's position on trapping and hunting. Ted writes about that -- and takes some nice "fair chase" shots at Massachusetts Audubon -- in a piece entitled "Guns and Greens" at >> http://www.audubonmagazine.org/incite/incite0501.html<BR/><BR/>Both of the magazine articles are highly recommended reading -- some of the very best of Ted Williams the writer, hunter, and angler. <BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>PatrickPBurnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05781540805883519064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-21522769866927225602007-05-09T22:29:00.000-04:002007-05-09T22:29:00.000-04:00YES, Ted Williams was a sportsman in the true sens...YES, Ted Williams was a sportsman in the true sense of the word, but he would PUKE HIS GUTS OUT at todays Massachusetts Audubon.<BR/><BR/>They are are anti-hunting, anti-trapping, and alinged with the likes pf PETA.<BR/><BR/>Maybe Mass Audubon should do like its namesake, John Jacob, and EAT CROW!
